5 Best The Walking Dead Season Finales

5. 'The Storm', Season 9

Still grieving Alpha's victims, and with a terrible storm approaching, representatives from the other communities set off to help the displaced residents of The Kingdom relocate to the safety of Hilltop before Winter fully sets in.

Unfortunately, as the weather worsens faster than expected, the group realises that the only way to reach Hilltop in time is to take a risky detour through Whisperer territory. Things aren't going much better in Alexandria, as Judith Grimes disappears into the storm in search of Daryl's Dog.

While a little quieter than the average Walking Dead finale, it worked for what it was trying to do. Though they don't appear until the closing moments, the threat of the Whisperers hangs as a shadow over the survivors for most of the episode. Negan fans enjoyed the episode for the first real glimmer of the character's redemption, risking his own life to save Judith during the storm.
